Pint Night for Public Lands

PCEC is launching a Public Lands Action Network (PLAN). We want to build a community of informed, engaged folks ready to show up for our public lands when it matters most. Our first in-person get together will be next week at Neptune's brewery on Wednesday, January 14th. 

Stop by anytime between 5-8pm for casual conversation and a beer to learn more about what's going on. Find out about proposed changes to the roadless rule, the Endangered Species Act, and wetlands and the Waters of the United States. There is a lot happening and you can help us take action, together as a community.

We invite you to join PCEC's PLAN for more opportunities to stay informed and engaged. Connect with people who care about public lands, learn about real and current threats facing the places we love. Have meaningful, in-depth conversations with local experts and discover ways to take action—locally and beyond.

First Call to Action: Join the Montana Roadless Conservation Area Petition 

We urge the U.S. Forest Service to prioritize transparency in public land decisions. We are requesting immediate, open public meetings to ensure Park County residents and all Montanans have a seat at the table in shaping the future of our backcountry, wildlife, and headwaters.

Appointed leaders in the USDA are still attempting to roll back the Roadless Conservation Area Rule, removing protections from millions of acres, including critical areas right here in Park County. Despite an overwhelming 99% of public comments opposing the rollback, the federal agenda has moved with a reckless hurry and has not held a single public meeting in Montana to discuss this huge policy change. This completely ignores the spirit of public collaboration that has shaped the management and resilience of our local lands.

We hope to see you next week. We will have a lot of opportunities to engage in the upcoming year. We look forward to building community and taking impactful action together.
